2014 Nissan Juke facelift review and pictures

The Geneva Motor Show is the event that draws the attention of every car lover in the world. Famous brands, skilful tuners, ingenious concepts, eye-grabbing vehicles, all are at Geneva with the thought of making a huge impression on the public. Nissan is also there, exhibiting a few of their products. Among them, the Japanese have prepared a facelifted Nissan Juke.

The Nissan Juke is now distinguished by Nissan's corporate front grille and by some 370Z-inspired headlights now available with xenon bulbs for improved visibility. The LED turn signals have been included in the side mirrors. At the back the boomerang-shaped taillights have also received a minor revision with LEDs. The crossover also received an opening sunroof, a new set of alloys, new body paintings and a more precise personalization program. Front-wheel drive versions now provide 40 percent more cargo room because of a redesigned trunk area which has increased capacity to 354 liters.

The Nissan Juke facelift is powered by a 1.2-liter DIG-T turbocharged gasoline engine, the same one powering the second generation Qashqai. The direct-injected engine generates 115 HP (85 kW) and provides a maximum torque of 190 Nm (140 lb-ft). It can be linked to a six-speed manual gearbox or a new Xtronic transmission sending power to both axles. The new Juke will reach the Nissan dealerships this summer.
